Hiroaki has brought the Traditional Slip Joint into the 21st Century ~ This knife has no Liners which makes it light weight and comfortable.

Also, the ultra modern Carbon Fiber handle scales add strength while making this classic look modern.

Buttery smooth action, a firm Half Stop and perfect lock up.

For this special knife Hiroaki gave a very Labor Intensive Hand Rubbed finish to the ATS-34 Clip Point Blade.

The spring tension is very nice, rates approx 6 on a scale of 1 -10. The blade is perfectly centered and operates oh so smoothly, no play in any direction.

Full length Spring / Backspacer to maintain strength!

Very slim and Lightweight due to not having any Liners and the Carbon Fiber Scales!

Hiroaki also makes his own Leather Pocket Sheaths for every knife, well stitched and holds the knife securely.
